Run for the Shadows: Bloody Memories (VOL. 1)

Ch 6.

      ''Shinku! Help me! I don't know what's happening!'' She says shakily walking over to me. I hold her up, her skin is ice cold, her eyes are red, and I see... fangs! ''You're a vampire!'' I say picking her up and laying her on the bed. She shakes uncontrollably. ''I don't feel quite right.'' She says. ''I feel so...'' She gasps. ''Thirsty.'' 

     Hana's POV

     ''Hana, did you know about this?'' He asks pinning down my arms and hovering over me. ''No!'' I say. He looks at me confused. ''I need my pendant!'' I say trying to get out of his hold and he holds me down even more. ''I need... you.'' I say licking my lips and laughing. ''Don't move!'' He says and I nod. He gets off of me and quickly levitates the pendant out of its box. Then he looks over towards the bed. ''Haha!'' I laugh and he turns around. I walk slowly over to him and smirk. ''It'll only be for a second.'' I say and he frowns. ''Or not!'' He says putting the pendant around me. We scream as it burns our skin. ''I would rather bear the agony of letting it burn us, then to watch you become something you're not.'' He says and we fall to the floor in pain. The pendant burns my neck and burns his hands. He sits on me to pin me down. The pain gets stronger and tears escape my eyes. His hands get shaky as he holds the pendant on me. I feel my fangs slowly start to disappear. 

     ''I can't take it any longer!'' I say as my whole body shakes, he looks at me and I scream. Then he bends his head down and gets closer to my face, he leans in. ''We have to do this, together.'' He says and I nod. He touches his forehead to mine and his velvet lips touch mine. He kisses me hard as we cry from the agonizing pain. Finally the pain stops and he stops kissing me. My white skin turns back to my normal pale and my eyes turn back to a blue. He hooks the necklace around my neck and he falls over beside me. We breathe heavily and he looks at his hands. They start to heal. ''What? How?'' I ask meekly. He turns his head to face me. ''I haven't been fully honest to you.'' He says. ''I am a devil.'' He tells me and I gasp. 

     ''I am half devil and half human.'' He soon replies and I nod. ''And I am half human and half vampire?'' I ask with a shaky voice. ''Yes.'' He says. ''Why are you helping me?'' I ask and he frowns. He turns on his side and gently strokes my face with his hand. Then he leans in and kisses me, this time more gentle, more passion, and more love. My heart races and my cold blood turns warm. His beautiful gentle hand that touches my face has me deep under his spell. At that moment I knew I fell in love with him...with a devil. We stop from my phone ringing and I smile getting up and grabbing it. ''It's my brother Kuro!'' I say excited and he nods. I tell Kuro that I am alright and that I will be on my way to meet him at home and then we hang up. 

     ''I don't want to leave you.'' I say as he walks me to the limo. ''I know.'' He replies. ''But I'll see you at school.'' He says putting my bags down. He pins me against the car and softly kisses me. ''Call me whenever you want.'' He says handing me a paper and I nod. ''Promise me...'' I start to say, but then I stop. ''Yes?'' 

''Promise me that you won't act different at school.'' I say and he cups my face with his hands. ''I will not, I promise.'' He says smiling and kissing me once more. He opens my car door and I get in. ''Thank you!'' I say and he smiles. ''I'll see you tomorrow at school.'' He replies and I nod. ''Take miss Hana home.'' He orders and the driver nods. ''Yes, Master Shinku.'' He gives me my bag, shuts the door, and we wave bye as the car pulls out of the driveway. I look forward towards the driver and then I look back towards the mansion, Shinku is gone and I smile. My little devil...

      I am silently driven away from Shinku, soon arriving at my house. I look out my window and see Kuro sitting in a chair on the porch then I look back at the driver. ''Thank you, sir.'' I say and the driver nods. ''You're welcome miss Hana.'' He replies and I grab my bag, getting out of the car. ''Kuro!'' I yell putting my bag down and running up to him. I look at his chocolate eyes and black hair that covers his right eye. He has on a black buttoned shirt, jeans, and black shoes. He embraces me in a tight hug. ''I've missed you, so much!'' He tells me and tears escape my shut eyes. ''Me too!'' I say and I hold onto him for what seems like an eternity. ''Come on. Lets go inside.'' He says and he grabs my bag and walks me to the house. ''What?! How is everything fixed?!'' I ask out loud. He looks at me and smiles weakly. I look into every room and everything is back to normal. Then I enter mom's room. Her clothes are still there, her jewelry, and her coat.
